The Bosch alternator upgrade is a popular choice for a lot of British car owners. When the Lucas ACR took a crap on the TR6 I debated on whether or not to do the Bosch conversion. I know the Bosch is by far the better choice but in keeping with complete originality I decided to go for a rebuilt ACR. So far so good. As for electrical glitches, I have been rather lucky with the TR6 but did have an ignition switch short on the way back from Detroit, Michigan but a quick hotwire and we were on our way again. The main electrical gremlin though on my particular car is that when the tail lamps are on, you hit the brakes and the tail lamp goes out on one side while the brake light illuminates. I did also have some flasher problems but a new relay took care of that. Seeing as how wiring harnesses are pretty inexpensive from The Roadster Factory, I'm going to rewire the car come winter.

Fingers crossed right now that everything remains a-ok for summer!
